Girltime Reads: For tween/teens

My girl and I come from a different breed of lady. Although we do enjoy the occasional princess storyline… we gravitate toward hearty, harassed, heroines and stories whose happy endings often reflect future hope, not only a comfy future. Here are a few of our favorites. Buy one and enjoy it with your girl. Grow beside her in a book-venture.

For the wild woman:

The Girl from Montana

A lonely girl rides from Montana to the east with only her horse and the Lord as her companions. Will she give into the easy path or stay steadfast in her journey home? My girl and I read this book at least once a year. It’s over favorite mom and me read!

For the just-minded:

The Goose Girl

Be prepared to laugh and sob with Shannon Hale’s The Goose Girl. We LOVE the audible version of this book. It’s not exactly a dramatic reading but does have all the voices. It’s wonderful.

For the freedom fighter:

May B.

Oh my. Oh my. Oh my. Do not be deceived by the sweet cover of this little book. Written in prose it’s a fast read. One I’m always unable to put down. Every time I pick it up I have to finish it. In fact, during a late night at my house I started this book in hopes it would lull my kids to sleep. I read out loud for two hours straight. We couldn’t leave the courageous May hanging. We had to finish the book. I bet you’ll be no different.

For the World Changer:

A Time to Die

Most of this list is comprised of historical fictions. Not this beauty. One of my all time favorite reads, it’s convicting and inspiring. A normal girl, growing strong in the Lord, faces down injustice with sometimes ugly consequences. The most mature read on the list, its Christian author holds nothing back. Mama, you may want to read this one first. Unless, you know your girl is up for a challenging and adventurous read.
